Bill overview
This bill, known as the ‘No FED in West Texas Act,’ aims to prevent the federal government from expanding the Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge in West Texas. Specifically, it blocks the implementation of a plan developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that would allow the refuge to acquire up to 700,000 acres of land in the Southern High Plains region. Supporters of the bill argue this protects private property rights and local control over land use. The bill’s purpose is to limit federal land acquisition within the designated area.
